Chelsea youngster and talented midfielder Lucas Pizaon joins Championship side Reading FC on loan. It is a one-year loan deal for Brazilian youngster.

Lucas Pizaon had joined Chelsea three seasons back in 2012 as a teenager after spending a year in Chelsea’s youth setup. Due to lack of first team opportunities, he was sent on loan to Malaga the succeeding season where he appeared in 11 La Liga games. In the same season, he was sent to Vitesse and then to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Chelsea has recently signed Pedro Rodriguez from FC Barcelona a week back to strengthen their midfielder. Piazon is still 21 it was unlikely that he would have got a chance in the squad. As for Jose Mourinho, he does not like to change his squad much.

It would be a beneficial move for the player who will get regular chances.

Speaking to Reading website Piazon said: “As young players, we want to decide our future and to be playing. So I feel happy and ready to start.

“I came to England four years ago, but I haven’t played much professional football in England. I’ve played abroad, but this is a good opportunity for me to stay in England to play. I’m very excited – in the Championship you have a lot of games and this was a factor too, to be playing twice a week.

“In the last few weeks, the team were playing a lot of games and now they have a small break. That will be good for me to feel comfortable with the team, the coach and the staff – in these two weeks we have a lot to do.

“We all want to win games, to collect points and to fight for promotion. I think that has to be the mentality – the mentality of a winning team.”
